  • Hula Hooping for Exercise –
    Hula Hooping for Exercise – Health Benefits Author: Paula Scott Using hula hoops for exercise is becoming all the rage for three reasons – the hoops are cheap, you burn calories and it’s fun! As a form of aerobic activity, the hula hoop can help firm, tone and burn body fat. The hoops used aren’t the standard toys you played with as a child; instead, these large, customized hoops are weighted especially for the activity. There is only1hula hoop exercise you need to do. Simply twirl it around your waist (insert how to link from part 2 here). You don’t need to get fancy or anything. That’s it! Hooping is good for the body, mind and spirit: Gets your heart rate up Promotes laughter Burns fat Helps overcome shyness Increases your overall fitness level Promotes happiness Increases energy level Focuses the mind Helps with weight loss Encourages creativity Burns calories Boosts self-esteem Improves core strength Improves coordination Strengthens torso muscles Improves posture Develops rhythm Improves motor skills Enhances flexibility The Hoop may be one of the best and cheapest exercise pieces you ever buy! WAIST The key is to put one foot in front of the other instead of standing with your feet side-by-side. Start with the hoop against your back at your waist. Give it a gentle push to start the rotation around your waist and shift your weight back and forth between your front and back foot to keep the hula hoop moving. Don’t move your hips in a circle to keep it rotating because the opposite will happen.

  • Hula Hoop Dance in Early Childhood (Case Study in Bon Thorif Kindergarten, Palembang South Sumatera)
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 58 3rd International Conference on Early Childhood Education (ICECE-16) Hula Hoop Dance in Early Childhood (Case Study in Bon Thorif Kindergarten, Palembang South Sumatera) Sri Sumarni, Windi Dwi Andika Sriwijaya University, Indonesia Corresponding e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Digital world nowadays gives positive impact on many aspects of development. However, there are also negative impacts in the shift of activity patterns, from motoric activities to playing gadget in the early childhood, even though it is the golden age of the motor development. This important issue encourages this present study to investigate an appropriate exercise program for early childhood compared to gadget. Based on the preliminary study on the use of Hula Hoop Dance in Bon Thorif kindergarten in Palembang, it was found that this dance is a favored development program to actively engage children to have ideal body proportions. This uniqueness directs the need of conducting a case study on how this dance really matters. There were sixteen children as the research subject. The data were collected by using observation, interview and documentation. By Spradley Model analysis, it was revealed that the psychomotor aspect developed healthy-fitness and children’s awareness perception. In the aspect of healthy-fitness, Hula Hoop Dance consists of: balance, coordination, speed, agility, power, innovation, and proportional weight. While in the aspect of awareness perception, Hula Hoop dance consists of: body awareness, spatial awareness, directional awareness, and temporal awareness. Therefore, Hula Hoop Dance is a fun activity which optimizes psychomotoric aspects of development rather than playing gadget.

  • HOOPING– Workout Or Child’S Play?
    ACE-sponsored Research: Effective HOOPING– Workout or Child’s Play? By Jordan Holthusen, M.S., John Porcari, Ph.D., Carl Foster, Ph.D., And Scott Doberstein, M.S., with Mark Anders bama does (First Lady Michelle, that is). So does pop superstar Beyonce. Same goes for actress Marissa Tomei and even basketball icon Shaquille O’Neill. We’re talking about hooping, the Omodern evolution of the hula hoop. While most people think of the hula hoop as a children’s toy that was all the rage back in the 1950s, the history of hula hooping dates back thousands of years to Egypt and ancient Greece when hoops fashioned from grapevines were actually used for exercise. Modern hooping started primarily as a form of dance expres- sion using larger, weighted hula hoops, but in recent years it has found its way back into the fitness world. Trendy gyms like Crunch and Equinox have incorporated hooping into Pilates and yoga classes, while hooping-specific classes and fitness studios are also blossoming around the country. These hooping classes generally incorporate a wide variety of hooping chore- ography and dance music into a fun and fast-paced group work- out. Hoopers are now using hoops that are 37 to 45 inches in diameter and weigh 1 to 4 pounds. These larger, heavier hoops rotate around the body more slowly, making it easier to hoop while potentially burning more calories and eliciting improved fitness benefits. Although hooping has become something of a fitness craze and proponents promote the activity as a full-body workout capable of burning up to 600 calories per hour, “there has been no scientific literature to support the fitness benefits of hooping,” says Jordan Holthusen, M.S., an exercise researcher with the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse.
